Introduction

Master Success is a total, life affirming system for
serious, self-selected men and women of action. Those who are willing to
assess and develop their strengths and weaknesses will embrace self-reliance
and hard work. It is choosing to reject average results and expect
extraordinary rewards.

The Master Success System can lead you to a life full of
purpose, passion, prosperity and peace. The rewards of Master Success are a
fulfilling career, a loving family, true friends, respect in the community,
financial independence and the inner peace that comes from doing your best.
It is a life of finding solutions rather than making excuses.

Master Success is not a traditional self-help system of
giddy optimism based on a weak utopian philosophy that everyone can do
everything. It will not appeal or work for everyone or even most. The
philosophy and rationale of Master Success will resonate only to an elite
few, perhaps one person in five. Master Success is reserved for the twenty
percent of achievers willing to face simple universal facts, seize
opportunities, take risks, learn from mistakes and move forward. It is for
those inspired by an inner voice, motivating them ever to excel. Those who
listen to the call are driven by an adventurous spirit which is both
optimistic and exhilarating.

Can you find a loving life partner?
Can you raise well adjusted children?
Can you achieve financial independence?
Can you live comfortably and retire early?
Can you maintain a healthy lifestyle?
Can you face reality with confidence?

Yes to all. Others are doing it and you can do it. This is
the beginning challenge to find out how far your talents and desires and the
Master Success System can take you.

As a Master of Success, you are a tough, thoughtful,
spiritual person of action. You do not wait for others to do what needs to be
done. You get on with the tasks at hand. Your life is focused with a clear
direction charted with plans, goals and objectives. You will appreciate your
life's work and be well compensated. You will become an investor with
multiple streams of active and passive income. You will have the time and the
resources to develop your personal interests. Prosperity will fuel your
generosity. Others will naturally gravitate toward your strength. You will be
respected as a leader who can be relied upon to react calmly yet swiftly and
appropriately when the going gets tough, to stay with the mission until
completion and to follow-up.

The Master Success System is a personal call to action
presenting ideas and challenges to forge one's own character. Master Success
is choosing an active life rather than a passive existence. It is taking back
control. Identify the challenge, consider the options, choose the best option
and take direct action.

In a real sense you are a warrior. Often you must bravely
soldier on as you skirt obstacles, as you dodge and weave along your personal
path to the achievement of your goals. Yes, some of your schoolwork and
training may prove to be a waste of time. Yes, some business decisions will
not proceed as planned. Yes, you will encounter cheating classmates, brown
nosing schmoozers, lazy partners, ineffective coworkers, disloyal friends and
selfish siblings. Yes, eighty percent of people will not be like you or
understand you. Accept this.

As a Master of Success, you aren't looking for secrets or
forever seeking easy ways. You've already been taught most of what you need
to know. Why pretend otherwise? Remember a loving relative who wanted you to
excel. Remember a caring teacher who encouraged you to study. Remember a
tough coach who pushed you to work hard. Remember that giving clergy person
who taught you the right way to behave. You honor those who saw potential in
you by following their practical advice. See your inner strength and exercise it.

By electing to follow the Action
Principles® and the Master Success System, you are making a
voluntary choice to be tough. Tough is a willingness to stand tall and
persevere against adversity. It is direct and deliberate action. It is
holding your own hand and being your own support network. Even when your mind
and body signal perfectly good reasons for giving up, you go on. Even when
your decisions and action run contrary to conventional wisdom, you go on. For
you, the thought of quitting is not an option.

Tough can be rejecting false hollow praise. Tough is
replacing excuses and dependence with personal responsibility, self-reliance,
independence and action. Being tough can take you a long way. You've got to
be tough to do the big things in life like taking risks, admitting mistakes,
and changing bad habits. You've got to be tough to do the little things like
biting your tongue, waiting your turn and suffering fools. Self-reliance and
self-confidence will demand your toughness.

Then, you must temper toughness with kindness. You've got
to be kind to receive the big blessings in life like inner peace and respect.
You've got to be kind to receive the daily blessings like a loving life
partner, true friends, compatible co-workers and well-behaved children. Many
times it will be tough to be kind. You must accept the fact that those who
need your kindness the most are often those least able to reciprocate with
appreciation.

The Master Success System will lead you to prosperity. This
is the easy part. If you are tough and kind, focused and hard working, money
naturally flows toward you. You don't have to become entangled in intricate
financial plans or wait for an inheritance. You don't have to become a lonely
workaholic separated from family and friends.

Greed is not the spirit or intent of the system. The Master
Success System defines financial independence in terms of the life enhancing
possibilities that money brings. If you are self-centered and selfish, no one
is going to care if you wear a diamond ring, live in a big house or drive a
luxury car. In fact, you will more likely be resented than befriended. The
system is to show you how to have the financial resources necessary to live
comfortably, take special care of those you love and have the option of
retiring early.

The Master Success System shows you how to help others and
to have the free time to develop your individual, God given talents, special
talents that should be shared with the world. Yes, you are talented. You will
remain tolerant of those who choose an easier path as you vigorously and
compassionately defend and support those who suffer through no fault of their
own.

Mastering Success is not a mountain to be climbed but a
plateau upon which you will walk. You are on a life long journey of
self-improvement. You will not be afraid to build upon and defend your
values. This tough attitude will make you a better employee, better business
owner, or better investor. You'll be better all the time at all aspects of
your career. You naturally rise to the elite level of whatever endeavors you
choose. Your charisma will encourage others to see you as a leader.

If, each day, you've thought about who you are, where you
are and how you can become a better person, you will find prosperity beyond
your expectations. Your manner will be self-confident. Your attitude will be
positive. Your body will be strong. Your mind will be calm. Your fears will
be few. If, each day, your focus at home, work, play and in the community has
been on helping others, you will find peace beyond your expectations. Those
who raised you will be proud of you. Your guidance will be remembered and
your leadership sought. Your personal encounters will be joyful and your
friendships many. Your value to society will be great. Believe in the power
of always trying to lead an exemplary life.

How do you know if you have what it takes? Are you tired of
hearing the incessant laments of the privileged malcontents of your
generation? Then, do something. Are you concerned that too many of your
academic classes are being taught by the bored to the bored and are of little
value? Then, do something. Are you sensing that you are mired in a dead end
career? Then, do something. Do something. Take back control of your life.
Become a Master of Success. Let this be your moment. Now is your time. There
is no other.

Master Success is not for everyone. However, if you feel
the calling, accept the challenge.

Following the Master Success System, you will come to
realize that you are the Master Piece.
